An adjustable frequency ON/OFF delay circuit 2 is provided by ON and OFF delay counters 6 and 14 and respective adjustable frequency oscillators 4 and 20. The ON delay counter 6 is enabled by an input ON signal and clocked by its oscillator 4 to a given count for outputting a delayed output ON signal. This counter 6 is disabled by an input OFF signal and outputs the OFF signal without delay. The second counter 14 responds to the first counter 6 for outputting the delayed output ON signal without further delay, and for delaying the output OFF signal. Circuit 2 is ideal for proximity switch applications, particularly photoelectric type proximity switches, for providing a delayed output signal following a given sensed condition.
